Best Wines for Spicy Food 750 ml

Perfectly aged just-off-dry Riesling from ungrafted vines in a Grand Cru

2018 Weingut Dr. Hermann Riesling Erdener Treppchen Kabinett #6 Mosel

It’s hard to put a price on ungrafted vines. Wineries privileged enough to work with low-yielding, ungrafted vineyards tend to charge a pretty penny for those bottlings. Yet Dr. Hermann’s stellar Erdener Treppchen Kabinett #6—made entirely from ungrafted plants in the steep, “class one” section of this iconic Grand Cru (Grosse Lage) of the Middle Mosel—represents a stellar value.

Delightful, slightly fizzy bottle perfect for pairing with fresh fruit desserts

2022 Damilano Moscato d'Asti

From their perfectly positioned south-facing vineyards in the heart of Asti, the Damilano family has crafted this 2022 release with their characteristic precision. Damilano’s Moscato d'Asti has a unique combination of moderate sweetness, delicate bubbles—and crucially, low alcohol—that makes it an essential tool in a wine lover's arsenal. While many dessert wines are bold and brash with their intensity, this traditional Piedmontese bottle acts as a graceful counterpoint to desserts. When paired with fresh berry tarts or stone fruit crostatas, the wine's gentle effervescence and bright acidity cleanse the palate while its restrained sweetness amplifies the natural sugars in the fruit.

“Capable of surpassing many Amarones in quality”

2020 Zenato Ripassa Ripasso Valpolicella Superiore

Wine Access members have given the Zenato Ripassa Ripasso Valpolicella Superiore a stellar rating up there with ANY Amarone we’ve offered in four years. Given that Amarone is our #1 can’t-keep-in-stock category, that figure is not to be taken lightly. If you love Amarone—and the warm, chocolatey, black-cherry charisma of the greatest bold Italian reds—the 2020 Zenato Ripassa is for you.

Top rosé from two Burgundy legends

2024 Domaine de Triennes Rose Mediterranee IGP

This is one of the most exquisite and mouthwatering French rosés money can buy. From a high-altitude vineyard in the Var region of Provence, it boasts the pedigree of both Domaine de la Romanée-Conti and Domaine Dujac. One five-star member-review crowned it “the best rosé there is,” and another summed it up perfectly: “Just buy the case.”
